Anne Ryan was selected as Queen For The Day. Anne creates the most unique work I've seen on SCS's. She's comical, yet sophisticated in her work. She can make a comical card look classy at the same time. I've never been able to figure how she does that. And, lets talk about her bows! She's known for her beautiful flair with bows; I, on the other hand, am not. But, I tried. Anne is always a source of fun and loved by the SCS's.
I usually make Anne suffer with making a Christmas card. I've also done some comical cards that weren't the most flattering. Thougt I would cut her a little slack so, I decided to try out Anne's Asian flair which she is also known for. No Asian coins or specialties; but here we go. I cased this card:
I don't know what is is lately, but I've been using a lot of gold. You are soooo lucky Anne that I didn't make a Christmas card b/c I love Christmas cards with gold. You owe me for sparing you.
Hugs and Love Queen Anne!
Thanks for taking a look and remember Anne, as we all do, except for me, to turn over your crown on Friday.

I can't believe you didn't make a Christmas card for Anne. LOL I give it to you, you've pulled off an 'Anne Ryan' card...that's for sure. Love it!!

Yeah, good question, HOW DOES Anne do that? Comical and elegant together should be impossible! This is gorgeously elegant and the Asian touch will please Anne for sure!! Black and gold is soooo striking and rich!

Pam, this is simply stunning! Don't tell me you can't make an elegant card, because that is what this is.......truly elegant and classy! I love the beautiful gold mats and the wonderful Asian sentiment.

You surely channeled Anne for this beauty...before I saw the title I knew that it was an Anne CASE. Wow card. Really wow...love your layout, image, the fantastic embossing and the rich and elegant pearls and bow. Even though comments were made about not knowing that you could "do" Anne or "do" Asian, no one said that they didn't know that you could do elegant, cuz you do it sooooo well. wonderful CASE, wonderful card.

AHhhh, so RICH and ELEGANT is this combo of black & gold!! As the sentiment says - it's beautiful! The floral image and row of gold pearls so reminds me of the cards Anne makes, so you've done a fabulous CASE of her style of card making! Nice!

Great CASE! I love the gold on the black; it looks so elegant, just like Anne Ryan!! You know what? I wasn't there to turn over my crown when it came time either!! Now, I feel bad. :( What do you do to make up for THAT??? Anything?

Oh my, how very stunning. I have to admit I had to click on the link because I sure dont remember making anything as fabulous as this, my friend. Thank you so much for casing one of my cards. I know time is precious, so I really appreciate your playing along. Your card is dramatic and so wonderful with that gold embossing and pearl string. Bet you didnt think you could do asian, did you? Let me assure you of this: you do asian as well as anyone. What a gorgeous card. Thanks so much, Pam.
